Overview
Profi is a coaching-business platform built around client sessions, package enrollments, drip-feed content, and video conferencing rooms — it stores client profiles, session bookings, and package membership as first-class objects. Pipedrive is a sales CRM organized around Persons, Organizations, Deals, and Activities; it has no native session-booking or content-dripping construct, so those map to custom fields on Deals or Persons. The migration carries all client records (name, email, phone, address), session history (date, type, status), package enrollments, custom fields, and activity logs (calls, meetings, notes) into Pipedrive's equivalent objects. Session-type values that were pick-lists in Profi become value-mapped custom pick-list fields in Pipedrive. Pipedrive's Leads inbox can absorb pre-qualified leads from Profi, but any session-recurrence logic must be rebuilt in Pipedrive's Automations after migration. FlitStack AI sequences the load so Persons load before Deals (via deal-person association), custom fields pre-exist in Pipedrive before import, and owner resolution by email prevents orphaned records. A 24–48 hour delta window captures any last-minute session bookings during cutover.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Profi object lands in Pipedrive, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Profi
Client
Pipedrive
Person
1:1Profi clients map directly to Pipedrive Persons. Client name, email, phone, address, and social links become Pipedrive Person fields. A client with no associated organization maps as a standalone Person; no AccountId link is required unless the client also exists as a business entity.
Profi
Client Organization
Pipedrive
Organization
1:1If a Profi client record includes a company name or business affiliation, that organization maps to a Pipedrive Organization record. The Person-Organization link is created via Pipedrive's relationship model after both records exist. Multi-client organizations in Profi (multiple clients linked to one company) resolve to one Organization with multiple linked Persons.
Profi
Session Booking
Pipedrive
Activity
1:1Each Profi session booking (one-on-one, group, consultation) becomes a Pipedrive Activity of type 'Meeting' or 'Call' linked to the Person record. Session type (one_on_one, group, consultation) maps to the Activity's Subject line or a custom Activity Type field. The original session date and time become the Activity's start and end timestamps, preserving the engagement history on the Person record.
Profi
Package Enrollment
Pipedrive
Deal
1:1Each active Profi package enrollment maps to a Pipedrive Deal. The package name becomes the Deal name; the package fee becomes the Deal Amount. Enrollment date maps to Deal Create Date; package expiry date becomes a custom field (Package_Expiry__c). The Deal's Person link connects the service offering to the client record. Multiple concurrent packages per client create multiple Deals, linked to the same Person.
Profi
Package Tier / Type
Pipedrive
Custom field on Deal
1:1Profi package tiers (e.g., Starter, Growth, Enterprise) have no native Pipedrive equivalent. We create a custom pick‑list field Package_Tier__c on the Deal object and map each Profi tier value value‑by‑value, preserving the exact label semantics. This enables package‑level segmentation in Pipedrive's reporting views, allowing teams to filter deals by tier and analyze revenue distribution across coaching programs.
Profi
Session Status
Pipedrive
Custom field on Activity
1:1Profi session status values (scheduled, completed, cancelled, no_show, rescheduled) have no direct Pipedrive Activity field. We create a custom pick-list field Session_Status__c on Pipedrive Activities and map each status value individually. Cancelled sessions migrate with their original timestamp but marked as cancelled for historical reporting.
Profi
Content Room / Course Enrollment
Pipedrive
Custom field on Person / Deal
1:1Profi's content rooms and course enrollment links are not a native Pipedrive construct. We migrate course access status (active, completed, revoked) and course URLs as text or pick-list custom fields on the Person record. Completion percentages or drip-delivery progress require a custom number or text field since Pipedrive has no native content-progress tracking.
Profi
Recurring Session Pattern
Pipedrive
Pipedrive Automation
1:1Profi's recurring session patterns (weekly, biweekly, monthly) are stored as scheduling metadata. Pipedrive does not have a native recurring-activity engine at the session level. We preserve the recurring pattern as a custom text field Recurring_Schedule__c on the Activity or Person record for reference. Pipedrive Automations can be configured post-migration to replicate recurring follow-up tasks, but the original pattern itself is informational only.
Profi
Note / Journal Entry
Pipedrive
Note
1:1Profi client journal entries and coaching notes map to Pipedrive Notes attached to the Person record. Original timestamps and author information are preserved. If notes contain rich formatting, Pipedrive Notes support basic formatting and are attached to the Person entity at the correct create date.
Profi
Owner / Coach
Pipedrive
User
1:1Profi coaches (owner assignment on client records) are resolved by email address against Pipedrive Users. If a coach email matches an existing Pipedrive User, the Person and Deal OwnerId fields are set automatically. If no match is found, the record is flagged before migration for your team to assign to the correct Pipedrive User or invite the coach as a new User.
Profi
Attachment / File
Pipedrive
Activity File Attachment
1:1Files attached to Profi client records or session bookings (e.g., session handouts, signed agreements) are downloaded and re-uploaded as Pipedrive Activity attachments or Person attachments. Pipedrive's file size limit applies (25MB per file for the standard plan). Files larger than this are flagged for manual handling.
Profi
Custom Field (client-level)
Pipedrive
Custom field on Person
1:1Profi custom fields at the client level (e.g., referral_source, coaching_focus_area, membership_start_date) map to Pipedrive Person custom fields. Field types are matched (text, number, date, pick-list) and the custom field is created in Pipedrive before migration with the identical name or a mapped equivalent. Multi-option Profi fields map to Pipedrive multi-select fields.

Migration approach
Audit Profi data and configure Pipedrive schema before migration
FlitStack AI exports and profiles your full Profi dataset — clients, sessions, packages, content enrollments, and custom fields — to identify duplicates, orphaned records, and field-type mismatches. Based on the profile, we deliver a Pipedrive schema setup plan that specifies which custom fields to create (Package_Tier__c, Session_Status__c, Sessions_Remaining__c, Content_Access_Status__c), which pipeline to configure, and which deal stages to map per package type. Pipedrive custom fields must be created before the migration run because Pipedrive's API requires the field key to exist before data can be written to it. We deliver this as a step-by-step checklist for your Pipedrive admin, with the exact field names and pick-list values to enter.
Resolve owners and invite coaches to Pipedrive
We match Profi coach email addresses against Pipedrive User emails to resolve OwnerId on all records. A pre-migration report lists every Profi coach with and without a Pipedrive match. Your team must invite any unmatched coaches to Pipedrive before migration day. Records belonging to unresolved owners are held in a staging batch and processed after the fallback owner is assigned or the coach is added to Pipedrive. No record migrates without a valid Pipedrive owner to prevent orphaned data.
Migrate Organizations first, then Persons, then Deals and Activities
Pipedrive's relational model requires Organizations to exist before Persons can link to them (via the org_id field), and Persons to exist before Deals can link via person_id. We sequence the migration as: (1) Organizations from Profi company_name data, (2) Persons from Profi client records with owner and organization links resolved, (3) Deals from Profi package enrollments linked to Persons, (4) Activities from Profi session bookings linked to Persons. Content room access data attaches to Person records as custom fields during the Persons migration step. This sequence ensures foreign key integrity — every Deal has a valid person_id and OwnerId at the time of write.
Run sample migration with field-level diff on a representative record slice
A representative slice — typically 100–300 records spanning clients across different package tiers, session statuses, and coach assignments — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values in Profi against the written values in Pipedrive for every mapped field. This validates that Session_Status__c mapping is correct, that Sessions_Remaining__c populated for multi-session packages, that meeting links landed in Meeting_Link__c, and that person-organization links resolved correctly. You review the diff and approve before the full migration run commits. Any mapping errors are corrected in the migration configuration and the sample re-run at no extra charge.
Execute full migration and delta-pickup window
The full migration runs against Pipedrive's API with batched writes to stay within rate-limit tolerances. A delta-pickup window of 24–48 hours after the initial migration run captures any new sessions booked or package enrollments added in Profi during the cutover window. Every record operation is captured in an audit log. If reconciliation identifies missing or incorrectly mapped records, one-click rollback reverts the Pipedrive dataset to its pre-migration state so the migration can be re-run with corrected mappings. Post-migration, we deliver a record-count reconciliation report showing source totals versus destination totals per object, plus a list of any records that failed to migrate with error reasons for manual review.
